the Ki.201 was basicly a Japanese copy of the Me262, intended for the IJA.

decals: from a Revell 1/72 Ki.61 Tony

Nice one Nils

This also very neat!  Could have perhaps happened.

Nice. 

I was putzing about with the Pegasus 1/48 262 a while back trying to decide
if I wanted to alter it to be closer to the known drawings of the Ki-201, it was
to be larger and somewhat different in form compared to the Me 262.
I came to the conclusion that a Ki-84 canopy would get it part way there looks
wise, at least similar to the Koike painting, but the engine nacelles would be the
sticking point, kinda like a type used on the He 280, but larger.



Frank did a nice build of the 1/72 RS resin kit:
